AMST 243: U.S.Latino Literature:Identity and Resistance
3.00 Credits
Knox College
Examines major works by U. S. Latino writers. We explore the themes of identity and resistance as they are developed in the poetry, fiction, theater, and essays of Chicano and Puerto Rican authors. Taking as our starting point the cultural nationalist discourses developed by the Chicano writers in the late 1960s, we analyze Puerto Rican and Chicano critiques of the American ideal of the "melting pot." We seehow poets, novelists, and dramatists have grappled with questions regarding Spanish as a proud marker of identity, with the impossibility of the return to an ideal Island paradise, or to an "Aztlan." In addition, special attention is givento the discussion of gender dynamics as they are expressed in the literature and culture. CL: ENG 243; M. Roy-Féquière

AMST 259: America in the 1960s
3.00 Credits
Knox College
The 1960s was one of the defining periods in American history, when great conflict served to reveal fundamental elements of the American character. American values and practices regarding sex and race, poverty and justice, apathy and activism, violence and peace, drugs, music, and other issues all came under intense scrutiny during this era. This class immerses students in the "sixties experience"- the eventsideas, values, sights and sounds of this exciting and important decade - and asks what this era reveals about America's past, present and future.

AMST 267: Great American Debates

AMST 272: Alternatives to Consumerism
3.00 Credits
Knox College
Many thinkers have criticized the manner in which consumerism, overconsumption, and profit-seeking dominate both American and global culture. This course uses these criticisms as the starting point for an exploration of various alternatives which might lead humans toward not only a more sustainable lifestyle, but one which is also more personally enlivening and socially just. These alternatives include changes in personal lifestyles, economic organization, media practices, and social structures. We discuss not only the scholarly ramifications of these ideas, but how to act upon them in our lives and society more broadly. Prereq: AMST 285, ANSO 103, ENVS 101, or BUS 280; CL: ENVS 272; T. Kasser, D. Beck
